ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- He had this look. Everyone in the Detroit Lions secondary knew what it was, what it meant. Glover Quin could be a man of many words in the media, the thoughtful, introspective leader of the Lions defense, but around the secondary, it was the glance he gave just before or after a play that made all the difference.
That look could tell so much, a quick stare to a player that basically said "Get it together," or "We really need this." It was one of the ways he learned to communicate with his teammates -- and specifically with a bunch of players that looked to him as an older brother throughout his six seasons in Detroit.
